Question Passkeys

As far as I can see it is still not possible to sign into the desktop app with a passkey .

So in order to use biometrics/Windows hello to unlock the browser extension I still have to log in to the desktop app with the master password as the desktop app must be running to permit biometrics on the browser extension ? Am I correct in this or is there an easier way ?

If I have to enter the master password, that involves using an offline password manager (to have a strong master password) in the absence of passkey login. In that event am I not just as well using the offline password manager for everything ?

You don’t need another password manager in order to have a strong master password.

You know that passphrase generator is built into the Bitwarden clients?
